[H2] Convert more leads with perks
Give away a free membership to every lead who registers an account — it’s a great way to encourage signup in exchange a benefit you might already offer (like free shipping).
Free members are more likely to convert to a paid customer, and spend more with your store.
Register up to 75 members on our generous free plan!

Sell access & perks
[H2] Increase repeat purchases
Paid members generate more revenue: they spend more time with your brand, purchase more often, and place higher value orders when they buy!
Not only can you make more money selling access, but you maximize the lifetime value of your customers by encouraging them to become members.
Sell perks easily on any plan – free or paid.
Flexible subscription billing
[H2] Create predictable revenue streams
Sell your membership as a subscription with automatic renewal — you’re in control of the price, interval, and cycles. Create recurring and predictable cash flow you can reinvest in growth.
Want to offer subscriptions to a product you ship regularly? Zendra can create billing plans for that, too.
All-in-one: subscriptions included in every Zendra plan.

I wanted to add a free membership to get my leads to sign up so I can market to them for new sales. Zendra was really easy to install and set up, I had my first plan added in about 10 minutes. Ian from chat was also really helpful to suggest the perks I should include in my membership to get more signups! I’m really happy I can start free to get some members to convert better.

Subscriptions
[H1] Subscriptions that stick.
Subscription memberships reduce churn and increase LTV. Zendra helps you offer member-exclusive perks that motivate new purchases and keep subscribers coming back for more.
Get started
[IMG: Zendra creates Shopify subscription memberships for consumable goods]
[H2] Bust churn with always-fresh subscriber perks
Subscribers eventually shop around if all they care about is price. Evolve past “subscribe & save” with subscriber value.
Reduce retention fatigue
[H3] Add value beyond deliveries.
Subscriptions with only “recurring delivery” have shallow loyalty. Layer perks that add value over time.
Subscriber-only bundles
VIP pricing on new collections
Free or upgraded shipping
Shift the dynamic from, “I get this periodically,” to “I like this brand.”
More efficient growth
[H3] Better lifetime value. Hold the discounts.
Offer access & reduce friction instead of defaulting to discounts.
Unlock exclusive collections
Shipping benefits: expedited shipping; free or discounted rates
Subscriber-only events & sales
Instead of cutting price, add to perceived value.
Expansion without new SKUs
[H3] Expand revenue per user digitally.
Add subscription tiers for access without spending on product R&D.
Annual pre-pay for cross-sell discounts
Unlock early product drops
Private collections or pricing
Reward committed customers to drive new sales without new marketing.
[H3] Sticky subscription memberships
Consumable goods industries & verticals can benefit from a subscription membership that offers perks, access, and lower friction. Common perks offered by Zendra:
